Still Alive

[Verse 1: Bobby Sessions]

I'm running out of love

My coping mechanism, I'm running out of trust

President embarrassing, wanna call us thugs

Hysteria, Babylon, Sodom and Gamorrah

Treat us worse than animals, that's just how it goes

America infected and the country been exposed

Problems up in Harlem, even down to Pleasant Grove

Label us a target like we 'bout to rob the stores

Basement full of darkness, deep emotion for the fallen

Spot a racist cop, crooked soldier like an honor

Keep the peace, but lack the armor

Yeah, they taught us

No wеapon formed against ya ever prospеr

'Cept a Glock, now call a doctor

Breaking news, helicopter passing trauma to the youth

Trauma 'bout to block the generation after you

Mother bound to suffer, never see her son again

Send a prayer, Steven Jackson, stay as solid as you can

[Chorus: Bobby Sessions]

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Shackled down to the boat, I'm a star (I'm a star)

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Made the effort to suppress, but we survived (We survived)

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Try to strip us of our rights and our pride (And our pride)

We don't die (We don't die)

Still alive (Still alive)

Now the revolution televised

[Verse 2: Bobby Sessions]

You not off the hook for all sins committed

Longer you wait to pay, the more you got interest

The judge pimpin', every local politician with good intentions

Until the system switch up their agendas

Connectin' my antennas, resurrected

I'm beginning to accept that any limit is a figment of the mind

World is wicked, sicker by the minute

Lightening striking hit me, now my spirit is alive

Mind spinning in sync with the ceiling fan

Ain't nobody left to march when you murder a million men

Kill our young on video, still you don't give a damn

I want a Versuz battle with Trump and Hillar' on Instagram

Unemployment rising, the family out of work

Religion losing value when Apple became a church

Morals nonexistent, the Holy will reign supreme

Breaking out this prison, transforming into a king

We don't die

[Verse 3: Royce da 5'9]

That urban location, there's herb in rotation

Wherever the peace is loudest is a certain oasis

Celebrities speakin' out, but never heard of formation

Where talk is cheap as a $50 Virgil donation

The soul of Mahatma Gandhi

I'm not even tryna harm rivalries

I'm tryna die as a martyr higher than Bob Marley

And I am gonna succumb to not realizing I'm a son of a gun

Until they charge me with armed robbery

Securing commas with cons, common as camaraderie

Ominous dons, to mama I'm just Ahmaud Arbery

Damn these rap dreams

Both my granny and Annie Maxine was crack fiend and anti-vaccine

Audemars Piguet on the target is slave

I'll trade you a part of this grace to be regarded as great

To be a Marvin Gaye or a Marshall and Dre

I'd trade it all for a face full of marvelous grays

Married to moments of silence, violence caught a bouquet

Felonious product of crazed biological rage

Y'all the shit, well, I'm the waterspray all from outta bidets

All the days that I'ma stay without a pardon or beg

I done laid beside and prayed, my revolver and gauge

Mama prayed to Honest Abe, many markets afraid

I done paid for now the same, many cartons of eggs

I don't age, see I was slain in the garden of graves

[Chorus: Bobby Sessions]

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Shackled down to the boat, I'm a star

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Made the effort to suppress, but we survived (We survived)

We don't die (We don't die)

We don't die (We don't die)

Try to strip us of our rights and our pride (And our pride)

We don't die (We don't die)

Still alive (Still alive)

Now the revolution televised
